Vertigo (DC Comics) DMZ vol.1, created by Brian Wood and Riccardo Burchielli. DMZ is set in the near future and centers on a young man trapped in Manhattan, which has been turned into a demilitarized zone (DMZ). The SyFy channel plans to air the drama series adapted from the Vertigo (DC Comics) graphic novel.

"Set in a near future where a second American civil war rages, a lone journalist is stranded in the middle of New York City, now a brutal no-man's-land. Mirroring current events, DMZ is an unforgiving look at what a 'war on terror' can do to a civilian population." by Riccardo Burchielli and Brian Wood

Last months UP selection. I should've read this a long time ago. I find it's jerky layers of different genres and stories to be a bit frustrating, but wildly brilliant. Moore's character development seems to constantly draw upon his experimentation with form. There is, in my opinion, no better (and more thoughful) use of the graphic novel genre, in it's treatment of nuclear disaster, self-reliant/fascism and the postmodern narcissist.

A MUST READ for anyone who wants a clearer understanding of the geopolitical realities of our current situation. STOP wasting time with mainstream media pundits, because until you've read this book then you can never truly understand the WHYS of our world today.
